HOW TO KILL A MIRACLE

               Delores Winder received one of the most remarkable miracles in our time. Facing death, Delores was terminally ill with pseudoarthrosis and had been wearing a body cast for 14 years. There was no known medical cure and Delores stayed in constant pain, literally living on tranquilizers. Delores knew her time was limited. Someone suggested that she attend a Methodist conference on the Holy Spirit in Dallas, Texas.

            Delores grew up in Johnstown, Pennsylvania and had heard of Kathryn Kuhlman who once lived in the area. She was known as a “faith healer” and a controversial person. By this time Ms. Kuhlman was on television, but Delores didn’t watch. Nevertheless, she had a conviction that she should attend the convention center and had to be carried inside. In Kathryn’s usual flamboyant manner, she floated across the stage and began talking and praying.

            Delores suddenly felt like her legs were on fire. She was carried on to the stage and discovered her entire body was being restored. Delores was wondrously healed! As she was restored, Kathryn Kuhlman told her, “Now you have work to do.”

            That work became praying for people. On one of these occasions, Delores was praying with a lady who had been crippled with arthritis. As they prayed, Delores felt that the woman had a problem with unforgiveness. When she inquired, the woman said, “No, I’ve forgiven everyone. However, Delores kept feeling the lady harbored resentment.  As she kept asking, the woman insisted there was no problem. Then, a word drifted across Delores’ mind, Brother.

            As Delores pressed, the woman admitted she had a brother but had “x’d” him out of her life. Couldn’t be him. Delores stared. How could the woman claim no animosity when she clearly had an ongoing struggle with her brother for twelve years? The conflict had to be resolved if healing was to follow.  Delores discovered the woman only lived two doors away from her brother!  Two doors distance had resulted in crippling arthritis.

            How do you destroy the possibility of a miracle? It isn’t hard. Just be resentful and unforgiving. That’s all it takes. Millions with issues have continually cried out  to God while still harboring resentment and bitterness. They believe in God, but not in keeping their slate clean.

            Jesus made it clear in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) that we must get things right with everyone before we come before the Lord. Wherever you are in your life’s journey, don’t kill the possibilities of restoration by harboring animosity or indignation. That’s how you stay open to the possibility of a miracle.

            Remember: miracles never cease.

THE OPERATION WAS INEVITABLE UNTIL…

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

Rev. Robert L. Wise, Ph.D. explores the world of divine interventions from an objective point of view. An Archbishop in the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches with a Ph.D., Rev. Wise relates his interviews with persons who experienced the touch of God.

THE OPERATION WAS INEVITABLE UNTIL…

            Sure, there are quacks around and charlatans that “fake” the intervention of God. At the same time, gifted believers can provide wonderful results.  The first time I attended a Kathryn Kulman service I had no idea what to expect. By the time I left two and a half hours later, I was overwhelmed. I realized empowered people were endowed with a capacity to bring healing results.

            Patricia Robinson discovered the same by accident. An x-ray on her left knee revealed osteoarthritis. The cartilage had worn away along with bone spurs creating pain. She found it hard to accept this result and went for a second opinion. An Orthopedic surgeon at Orthopedic Consultants in Minneapolis confirmed the earlier diagnosis. Pat needed knee replacement. Surgery was scheduled.

            She dreaded the idea. As Pat studied the preparation book given by the surgeon, Pat also started praying… praying hard. From her study of the Bible, she embraced her heavenly Father as Jehovah Rapha, her healer.

            Someone noticed that a healing crusade was coming to the Target Center in Minneapolis. Other friends from her church were going. Couldn’t hurt anything. Why not?    

            When Pat and her husband arrived, the building was already crowded and they had to sit in the balcony. They argued with the usher that they needed to be down front because of her problem. The usher assured them “when the anointing comes, you’ll get it right in your chair.” They had no choice but to settle in.

            People shared testimonies. The evangelist preached and then interceded for people lined up before him. Pat watched as people were decisively healed.

            Near the end of the service, the evangelist suddenly looked up in the balcony. “Someone up there is scheduled for surgery next week.” He pointed to where Pat was sitting. “Cancel your surgery. You are healed.”

            Pat could hardly believe her ears. Was it her? Seemed to be, but was it too good to be true? By the time they arrived home, she had her answer. She could run up and down the stairs easily and with no pain. She was healed!

            When she called to halt surgery, Pat shared her experience with an amazed doctor.  Now years later, Pat remains healed. The trip to the crusade was everything she needed. She had a miracle.

            The next time such a crusade comes to your town investigate and if the reports hold up, don’t be afraid to attend and reach out. Could be your opportunity to join Pat in praising Jehovah Rapha.

WHEN THE DARKNESS DIED

Blog 383

April 20, 2025

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE

Rev. Robert L. Wise, Ph.D. explores the world of divine interventions from an objective point of view. An Archbishop in the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches with a Ph.D., Rev. Wise relates his interviews with persons who experienced the touch of God.

WHEN THE DARKNESS DIED

            Easter is the celebration of the amazing transforming miracle of light. The Light has shined into the darkness and the darkness has never overcome it. On Easter we remember how the darkness of death was dispelled.

            No matter where you look in the world, you will find cemeteries. At the edge of every town, there is a graveyard and everyone knows that’s where they will eventually reside. We try to avoid the fact, but in the moments when we are most lucid, we recognize the inevitable. One day we will be there.

            And then Easter morning comes.

            The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead proclaims that Light has shined into the darkness of the grave and the darkness has not over come it. Easter proclaims that every tomb is now filled with Light and the darkness cannot halt the penetrating glow.

            That’s the miracle of Easter.

            Our worst fear has been conquered. Death has no power over us. Every dark night will give way to a new day of promise. When church choirs sing, “Christ the Lord is risen today,” they are singing to the past, the present, and the future, that no amount of darkness will ever stop the Light.

            That is the greatest miracle of all.

            And that miracle never ceases.

AWAKENED TO THE LIGHT

Blog 377

February 23, 2025

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE

Rev. Robert L. Wise, Ph.D. explores the world of divine interventions from an objective point of view. An Archbishop in the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches with a Ph.D., Rev. Wise relates his interviews with persons who experienced the touch of God.

            AWAKENED TO THE LIGHT

            Miracles come in all shapes and sizes. Often the divine touch comes in a way that is unexpected. Elaine Stephenson had just such an experience.

            On February 3, 2021, Elaine was finished with her usual early morning two hours of “layered” prayer. Still battling an illness, something unusual started to appear.  A deeply personal vision began to emerge.

            Elaine began picturing her body and ordering all the negatives to leave every part of her. She prayed for Jesus to fill every cell with his healing water followed by his healing touch. Next, she asked for his healing light to surge in.  Elaine began asking for the prayers of the many people who prayed for her need to flow through her body. As the prayer time came to an end, she gave thanks and praise to Jesus for hearing her prayers.

            Almost as an afterthought, Elaine asked, “…Jesus, would you take my sack with you when you go.” She was referring to a hideous, misshaped roll of fat that had formed across her lower abdomen. While struggling with her illness, Elaine had lost a substantial amount of weight in a short period of time. The result had created the bulge around her waist. Elaine had barely gotten those words out of her mouth when she sensed a change.

            Directly in front of her, she envisioned a circle with a line forming in the center, almost like a stick figure being drawn. As the line continued to extend, it started making a letter. In the center of the circle the bold capital letters formed making a giant “I AM.” She immediately thought that Jesus was saying “I AM with you.” Elaine knew her prayers had been answered. Tears began to run down her cheeks.

            ( Exodus 3:13-14 relates that Moses discovered the name of God to be in Hebrew YHWH or  I AM).

            The letter of the I AM glowed boldly across her dark room. Each letter was printed on a shape like a child’s building block. The colors glowed with an other worldly magnificence.  Long after the image fade, the letters were etched in her mind. She was healed.

            Finally, Elaine woke her husband and related the experience. He too was amazed. They agreed her experience must be shared with others. Oh by the way. the sagging sack around her waist was gone.

            Remember miracles never cease.

MIRACLE AT THE END OF A COUCH

Blog 375

February 2, 2025

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE

Rev. Robert L. Wise, Ph.D. explores the world of divine interventions from an objective point of view. An Archbishop in the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches with a Ph.D., Rev. Wise relates his interviews with persons who experienced the touch of God.

MIRACLE AT THE END OF A COUCH

With her bright red-hair and rambunctious style, elderly Ruth Eaton was one of the most delightful persons I’ve ever known. Ruth had been a member in two churches that I pastored and was always on the go. Visiting a friend in a nursing home, 86 year-old Ruth discovered that many of these “old” people had no one left who cared for them. She simply couldn’t let this be!

            Ruth Eaton made it her job to find a gift for every lonely person in a nursing home in Oklahoma City. She watched for specials in the newspaper and came up with everything from women’s socks to men’s underwear. Her living room was piled high with boxes and wrapping paper for her “best buys” being prepared for delivery on Christmas Eve.

 The work she began on their behalf never stopped until Ruth died at age 93. But her encounter with the miraculous sustained her through all those years.

            Ruth’s only daughter had died at age 44. I had the service for her and knew that the death had nearly killed Ruth. At that time, I couldn’t fully comprehend how the affect lingered for years. Only after the death of my oldest son did I realize how difficult it is to deal with the death of a child. Ruth didn’t speak of her experience often, but it was always there.

            On this particular Friday, I told my secretary not to let anyone in or any phone calls get through until I had my sermon completed. Thirty minutes later, I could hear Ruth raising a ruckus. “I don’t care what he said!” she yelled at the secretary. “I demand to speak with him NOW!” And in came Ruth.

            She had been sitting on her couch wrapping presents when she began to think about her beloved daughter and wondered where she was today. At the same time, Ruth thought about her mother who had died many decades earlier.

            Ruth abruptly had the strangest feeling. She looked down at the end of the couch and there stood her mother and daughter. Though they had been many years apart in age, they both looked exactly the same age at about 25. Ruth stared in amazement. Mother and daughter smiled back at her, reflecting their joy at what she was doing. The three of them seemed to communicate telepathically, sharing their love and devotion.

            Ruth looked away, trying to comprehend. When she turned back, they were gone. For a long time, Ruth sat there in astonishment, trying to grasp what she had experienced. Whatever else Ruth might have been uncertain about, there was no question in her mind, but that she had been visited by her deceased mother and her own daughter.

            Ruth’s view of eternity had been assured. Scripture offers us the same assurance even without her experience. “This is the record that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. (I John 5:11) That’s your opportunity!

            Remember. Miracles never cease.

A MIRACLE IN THE MARKETPLACE

Blog 373

January 19, 2025

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE

Rev. Robert L. Wise, Ph.D. explores the world of divine interventions from an objective point of view. An Archbishop in the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches with a Ph.D., Rev. Wise relates his interviews with persons who experienced the touch of God.

A MIRACLE IN THE MARKETPLACE

            Today’s headlines proclaim the potential ceasefire in Gaza and cessation of hostilities in the war. Having traveled in Israel since 1968, I spent lots of time in Jerusalem. I’ve watched the country literally grow out of the dust into the modern world. Let me tell you one of the ways that the hand of God is still moving behind the scenes.

            While working in Israel, Tom Doyle heard many stories about miraculous appearances in the dreams and encounters of Palestinian people. These expressions had a profound affect on these local citizens. Omar is an example of unexpected intervention. He had grown up in a Palestinian refugee camp. The camps left a great deal to be desired and were often hard on children. Omar grew up hating the Jewish people and intended to kill every Jew he could find.

            Omar decided to join Hamas and hoped to create violence. He was on his way to join the terrorist organization when he abruptly was confronted by a man standing in the narrow street around the marketplace. Of course, many people wore long dark robes, but this man had on a bright white robe when he suddenly appeared and pointed at the Palestinian.
            “Omar, this is not the life I have planned for you,” the man in white said.  Turn around. Go home. I have other plans for you.”

            Astonished, Omar did as he was told. Confounded, the Palestinian didn’t know what to do or believe. However, while pondering the situation, he noticed someone was moving into the apartment across the hall from him. After a few inquiries, he discovered the man was a Christian. Maybe he would have insight into who had confronted him in the market.

            “What does this mean?” Omar explained how he had been confronted in the street. “Please, can you help me understand?”

            The man asked Omar into his apartment and showed him a Bible. He began explaining what the scripture said and who this man in white might be. Omar listened intently and realized the “other plan” that the figure spoke of was unfolding before his eyes. The alternative path was opening before him. He would have to follow.

            Omar had walked down the street determined to be an extremist and a terrorist. What was he today? Omar is an underground church planner, bringing peace to his people.

            Ever have a dream that rocked you? Would it be possible to be confronted by a “stranger” who had a message for you? Could you receive an unexpected insight or discovery that changed the direction you were taking? Certainly.

            Our heavenly Father communicates with us in many ways. The challenge is to be open. Pause right now and breathe a simple prayer. “Father, I will receive whatever you wish to give me or what path you want me to take.”

            Remember. Miracles never cease.

 Remember miracles never cease.

THE GREATEST MIRACLE

Blog 370

December 29, 2024

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE

Rev. Robert L. Wise, Ph.D. explores the world of divine interventions from an objective point of view. An Archbishop in the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches with a Ph.D., Rev. Wise relates his interviews with persons who experienced the touch of God.

THE GREATEST MIRACLE

As I look toward the New Year, I ask myself a question. Out of the multitude of miracles I’ve encountered and discovered, what is the greatest miracle? If you’d go back and review my stories that span more than four years, you’ll discover amazing results as the hand of God moved. But what was the greatest one of all?

            The stars in the sky and the systematic rotation of the seasons year after year through countless centuries offer their response. Even with the painful political nonsense we have had to endure, the world still continues on its way intact. Nations come; nations go. But we exist in a world governed by an unseen power that maintains order even when we degenerate into corruption, strife and combat.

            Why?

            Because we have a Heavenly Father who loves us regardless of our sacrilege, inadequacies, and inconsistencies. Even if we do not turn to Him, his love endures. The love of God continues unabated to the end of time. That, my friend, is the greatest gift of all.

            Oh, and remember miracles never cease.

EVIL CONTROLLED UNTIL

Blog EVIL #2

December 15, 2024

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE

Rev. Robert L. Wise, Ph.D. explores the world of divine interventions from an objective point of view. An Archbishop in the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches with a Ph.D., Rev. Wise relates his interviews with persons who experienced the touch of God.

EVIL CONTROLLED UNTIL

In the last blog, we considered combatting evil and the diabolical impact Evil has on people. I suggested that I had run into this problem far more times than other areas I have previously explored. Evil and the expressions of destruction are always at work undermining even good people. Have you ever experienced an almost overwhelming desire for something or someone that you knew was wrong? You couldn’t figure out why you were so bothered? The truth is that you had plenty of help from the dark side.

Let me give you a couple of examples that happened to people who you would never have suspected being defeated.

 A clergyman showed up on the doorstep running from his parish. The problems of managing a congregation full of fighting members while the church’s attendance and finances dwindled became too much. From seemingly out of nowhere, the good man was swallowed by despair. He knew spiritual intervention was necessary.

A second clergyman came with his young wife. She had always been forgiving, but had finally reached her limit. The husband had developed a strange but intimate relationship with much older women in the church. When he finally told her of these relationships during their own romantic time together, she exploded. In turn, the husband became violently furious.

As counselling continued, in both instances the clergymen couldn’t understand why they had been nearly destroyed when they actually were trying to guide and help people in their churches. They both felt “something” had somehow entered their minds and devastatingly infected them. Overwhelming doubt had swamped the men. Neither clergyman had been a bad person, just defeated. They didn’t know how the problem had occurred, but a force seemingly had slipped into the back of their minds.

Evil works like that. The Living Bible warns about “the craze for sex, the ambition to buy everything that appeals, and the pride that comes from wealth and importance.” (I John 2:16) These are some of the backdoors that allow Evil to enter undetected. Each of us have our own backdoors.

Their problem could be called Satanic oppression. How did the men get free? The two clergymen needed to be prayed for by someone who knew how to break the bondage of Evil. It wasn’t that they had slipped, it was that they had been tripped. Out of the shadows, Evil had infected them.

Your answer? Find a pastor, a priest, a clergyperson who understands evil and how to pray to defeat the nefarious. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you to such a person regardless of whatever group they belong to. Surrender your problem into the hands of Jesus and you can be set free.

            Struggling? Remember miracles never cease.
